Thus, Luo Lixi left the sofa and went to check on the man. As soon as she left the room, she heard his voice. 

"… drag him to the construction site. Don't let him escape. Even if he begs, don't care." Sheng Ruming's stern voice rang out in the apartment. Luo Lixi glanced down on the first floor and saw the man talking on the phone with an annoyed expression. 

On the other side of the phone, Liu Azhen snatched Chen Shubin's phone and cried out, "Sheng Ruming, I am a damn engineer, not a labourer. How can you do this to me?! If my friends know, how can I show my face in the future?! "

"Enough. Go work. I will make your pay double. Don't cry now." Sheng Ruming said and then proceeded to hang up. 

"… This damn capitalist!" Liu Azhen swore loudly. Chen Shubin shook his head and patted his shoulder. 

"Who told you to act unruly in the company?... Boss is going to the Long city. After an hour, you go back to the company and work on the draft." Chen Shubin murmured. He felt pity whenever he saw this spoiled Young Master trying to work as if he would die in the next moment. 

"Bro, today I finally knew, you love me the most!" While saying Liu Azhen spread his arms wide to give the other man a big hug. Looking at this, Chen Shubin retreated fiercely and shouted. 

"Don't! I am a married man!"

'I only wanted to give you a bro hug… never mind.' After thinking, the young man jumped ahead and went to finish his part of work as a labourer. 

'Baby, you wait for me.' While working, Liu Azhen thought of his lover and smiled like a fool. Chen Shubin saw this and couldn't help but shiver, "What's wrong with him?!"

Zhou Lei, who was sitting on the ground, on top of a pile of grass while munching a blade of grass saw this and spat out. 

"You are asking this?! Chen, you also make this face whenever your wife calls you." 

"No way I…" While refuting, Chen Shubin paused. He remembered that he also seemed to smile subconsciously whenever his wife called him. 'Do I really smile like a fool?' 

Chen Shubin opened his phone's camera and checked his face. Then, he tried to make a face when he talked with his wife. After a few seconds, he stopped and put away the phone with awkwardness. 

"Hehe…" Zhou Lei sneered.

"…" Chen Shubin didn't have anything to say. Better as mute.

After hanging up, Sheng Ruming began to sort out the papers scattered on the dining table. Luo Lixi walked down the stairs and came to him. Looking at the haggard face of the man, her heart softened. 

"Didn't you sleep?" Luo Lixi whispered as she put her hands on his shoulders and began to massage slowly. 

Usually, Sheng Ruming wouldn't say too much than necessary. While talking with others, he would try to speak as if his words were worth gold but while talking with his wife, words became cheaper than cheap!

"No. I drank coffee and later could no longer feel sleepy. Also, in the study, I wasn't in the mood and came down here to work." Sheng Ruming whispered as he sighed in satisfaction because of her massage and leaned back. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temple.

Under his eyes, Luo Lixi saw the vague eyebags and felt sorry for him. She leaned down and left a kiss on his forehead while muttering softly, "You know… If the pressure of work is too much and you can't handle it, you can always ask me for help."

Sheng Ruming opened his eyes and glanced at her intently as he whispered, "Alright."

But the woman didn't see his eyes as she was only concentrating on massaging his shoulder while standing behind him. The man felt as if the whole late-night work and the stress were washed away the moment she left a peck on his forehead and her caring hands massaging him.

Such a blessing, for him~

After two hours.

The couple got ready to go to the Long city. After Luo Lixi got out of the building and stood at the entrance, her forehead throbbed.

Many luxurious cars were standing one after another. All of them were of the same brand and each of them was worth millions. It was a blatant display of wealth! 

Luo Lixi turned to Sheng Ruming. The latter was satisfied with Xiao Huang's arrangements. He noticed Luo Lixi's stare and asked, "What? Do you find it's not enough? Should I ask Huang to bring out my more expensive cars?"

"You… Can't you arrange vans to transport the gifts?" Luo Lixi asked in despair. 

Sheng Ruming shook his head and replied seriously, "Those things aren't befitting with our image."

"But if so many luxury cars follow us, it will attract unnecessary attention. Also …" Luo Lixi thought as she glanced at the car in irritation, "It would look like a nouveau riche showing its feathers…"

Sheng Ruming didn't know her concern. To him, it was his first time going to the in-law's home and it's normal to be high profile once in a while. 

"Don't think too much. I will never go to any relatives' homes with vans. I ain't going there to tread or something."

"Your wish then." Luo Lixi murmured with a stiff face. Some people were talking while looking towards her and the man. She felt uncomfortable while being stared at like she was a rare object or something and hurriedly put on sunglasses as she made her way to the car. 

In no time, all the ten luxury cars left for the Long city. It was so high profile that commoners were blinded by it. Also, when the cars were driving on the road, other vehicles stayed out of their way and kept a distance of ten meters. 

To them, a little piece of those luxury cars was worth their whole career. If they even left an accidental scratch, they would die but couldn't repay the compensation even if they sign a slave contract!

Thus, the eleven cars drove without any problem and barely faced traffic jams. Luo Lixi forced Sheng Ruming to lay his head on her thigh and told him to rest. 

The man was more than happy to comply and enjoyed her slender fingers' massage on his temples as the cars drove on the highway. Occasionally, he would take advantage and touch her smooth skin just to be slapped away with a hiss escaping Luo Lixi's lips. 

Xiao Huang was already an experienced man and right after entering, he turned on the partition between the front and back seats, thus giving Sheng Ruming more courage to be daring. 

But his unruly paws yet again got slapped by Luo Lixi and had to stop moving when she uttered one word deeply, "Behave…"

… 

In the duplex apartment complex. 

"They have already left?" Wei Airan asked in disbelief. After she knew that something was wrong with her new daughter in law, she could no longer stay still and came to the apartment after thinking for a long time. 

Wei Airan wanted to have a heart to heart talk with the involved person. But she was bound to get disappointed. Her useless thoughts only consumed her time, nothing else.

The maids nodded and one of them said, "Two hours ago…"

"Sigh. I am late." Wei Airan thought in dismay as she turned around to leave. Before leaving she stopped and asked again, "When will they return?"

"That… we don't know." 

"When they come back, give me a call." 

"Yes." The maids nodded their heads simultaneously. 

Wei Airan sighed again as she left the place. After she walked down, she didn't feel like going back to the villa and thus made an appointment to go to a parlour right then and there to treat her tensed muscles. 

"Baishi, are you free today…"

After several hours of the long journey. The grand entrance of the Luo Mansion was opened and one after another, the cars entered swiftly. 

Aunt Zhu was waiting at the entrance of the mansion for several minutes already. Finally watching them arriving, the old woman sighed in relief. 

Luo Lixi stepped out of the car and rushed up to her as she engulfed the old woman in a bear hug. "Grandma Zhu, I have finally come." 

"Welcome home, Miss." Aunt Zhu murmured with a warm smile as she patted Luo Lixi's back. 

"Grandma." Sheng Ruming greeted her as he went towards them. The old woman retracted her hands and stood straightly as she bowed in greeting, "Young master Sheng. Welcome. You two have gone through a tiring journey. Let's enter the mansion first." 

Sheng Ruming nodded and then all of them went inside. Meanwhile, Xiao Huang glanced around and motioned to the guards who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area.
